Every year since 1993, World Water Day (22 March) raises awareness and inspires action to tackle the water and sanitation crisis. It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is a United Nations observance coordinated by UN-Water. You can find out more about it here: www.worldwaterday.org/
NovaCast has been supporting global initiatives to improve access to clean water supplies since 2017, when we supported Xylem’s Watermark initiative. In 2018 we broadened our support by starting regular donations to the Planet Water Foundation, and 2020 we signed up to the WBCSD WASH Pledge for access to safe water and sanitation and hygiene (at the beginning of 2022, WBCSD transitioned the WASH Pledge resources and engagement to the WASH4WORK programme). If you follow each of these links, you will be able to access information about each of these initiatives.
Richard Phillips, MD at NovaCast is very happy to endorse this UN initiative “We are committed to supporting the work of organisations around the world that are dedicated to improving water quality and sanitation for those most in need, wherever they are. So, we are very pleased to take this opportunity to support and promote World Water Day. By raising awareness, providing financial support, and making changes in our everyday lives, we really can all make a difference.
